"Of this reproductive health crisis is having on maternal health and other health conditions. This is the second executive order the president has signed regarding reproductive health since constitutional abortion rights were overturned by the Supreme Court in June. Campaign 2022 on WTO P abortion rights activists are celebrating a victory in Kansas. Voters there rejected a measure that would allow that would have made it easier to restrict abortion. It's the first referendum on the issue since the Supreme Court struck down roe V wade, more are expected in upcoming elections. PBS NewsHour Capitol Hill correspondent Lisa Desjardins jardin's tells WTO the result and how lopsided it was. I just kept watching those big suburban counties that have those thousands and thousands of votes, they were clearly from the beginning, counties that were rejecting this idea of more abortion restrictions. And these are counties that voted for Trump. Most of them. But these are counties that made a very big statement last night in Kansas about abortion rights. After issuing a subpoena to former White House counsel, pat cipollone this week, the Justice Department has reportedly subpoenaed his deputy two sources to tell CNN prosecutors are looking for testimony and documents from Patrick philbin as part of the DoJ's criminal probe of the January 6th attack on the capitol.

"Soldier. Scott gelman is our producer. The top stories we're following for you tonight, it was a meeting that some believe never should have happened today, but President Biden is in Saudi Arabia where he met earlier with Mohammed bin Salman today. The United States believes the Saudi crown prince ordered the 2018 killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in turkey. Just hours after a meeting crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, despite promises, it's a candidate to make the kingdom a pariah for the killing of critic and Washington Post writer Jamal Khashoggi, President Biden told reporters he confronted the prince. I was straightforward and direct in discussing it. I made my view crystal clear. Mister Biden said the prince disputed accusations he was behind Khashoggi's murder. The president also said his discussions with Saudi leaders have yielded progress on energy defense and technology. Steve Dorsey CBS News Jeddah Saudi Arabia. The president fist bumped The Crown prince and that photograph has now been making its way around the world and has been receiving a lot of criticism, according to multiple news organizations. President Biden's plan to move the U.S. toward clean energy has taken a major blow late this week. They knew exactly the concern I had. Democratic senator Joe Manchin told a West Virginia radio station, he won't support legislation with the president's climate agenda right now because he fears new spending will make inflation worse. Inflation is absolutely killing many, many people. With no Republican support, any democratic opposition blocks the bill in the evenly divided Senate. I've used every power to have his president to continue to fulfill the pledge to move toward dealing with global warming. Senator Manchin says he is willing to vote for a separate part of the bill, healthcare provisions to lower drug prices. Natalie brand, CBS News, Washington. When it comes to fighting the effects of climate change, what can the president do now by executive order? You know, you speak to activists and those who say that there are actions he can take and they look to the Environmental Protection Agency. They say that even with the recent Supreme Court ruling, they believe the EPA can start issuing rules saying how much how little carbon emissions can come out of manufacturing plans. That would surely be tested in courts, but the EPA is moving in that direction. Maybe would issue a rule next spring. PBS NewsHour capital hill correspondent Lisa Desjardins, speaking with WTO. Three weeks after the Supreme Court overturned roe V wade, the house today approved two abortion rights bills. WTO's Mitchell Miller with the latest from Capitol Hill. The bill is passed. Debate on both bills was at times intense. We will not stand for this blatant and brazen attempt to control women. Women deserve better than this. And so do their pre born babies. New York Democrat yvette Clark and Arizona Republican Debbie lesko reflecting the sharp divide over the issue. On the two largely party line votes, lawmakers approved a bill that would codify the abortion rights that had been held in roe versus wade, as well as legislation that would protect individuals who traveled to another state to get a legal abortion. Neither Bill is expected to become law since they don't have sufficient support in the Senate. On Capitol Hill, Mitchell Miller, WTO news. Inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security, Joseph cufa, met with the House committee investigating January 6th. He briefed them on the deleted Secret Service text messages from the day of the capitol riot and the day before. The agency had asked for records of electronic communication of that day as part of the continuing investigation on the capitol attack, the January 6th committee will now try to recover and retrieve text messages that were erased by Secret Service on that day. CBS News congressional correspondent Scott McFarland says the Secret Service of the watchdog agency are offering conflicting statements about all this. The Secret Service says it did a factory reset on some of its phones, which caused the loss of some data, but the internal watchdog for the Secret Service says those text messages that they had been seeking were deleted after the internal watchdog asked for copies as part of the review of the

"I'm Dmitri so does Scott gellman as our producer? The top story we're following for you tonight. President Biden says the first thing he brought up when he met with Saudi leaders today, including crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, was the murder of a Washington Post columnist. The presumed heir to the Saudi throne is considered responsible for ordering Jamal Khashoggi's killing. Jamal Khashoggi when you apologize to his family sir. On prince Mohammed bin Salman smirked, but ignored a reporter's question about the critic and Washington Post writer U.S. intelligence agencies believe he ordered killed, seated across from him at his royal palace, President Biden, who had pledged as a candidate to make Saudi Arabia a pariah respect to the murder of Khashoggi. I raise it at the top of the meeting. The president also plans to meet with other midi leaders here this weekend to discuss energy countering Russia, China and Iran in a delicate ceasefire in Yemen. Steve Dorsey CBS News Jeddah Saudi Arabia. Also knew this evening. On this vote, the yeas are 219, the nays are 210, the bill is packed. That is, of course, House speaker Nancy Pelosi as the U.S. House is just approved to build that would restore federal abortion rights in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn roe V wade. WTO's Mitchell Miller from Capitol Hill. Let's protect the human rights of the unborn. We can not deny life. Republican Cathy McMorris Rogers of Washington state, arguing against legislation that would codify the case that the high court reversed. Do Republicans actually believe the mother's life is expendable? Apparently, so. California's Judy Chu, who, along with other Democrats, voted to approve the legislation. Lawmakers are also taking up a second bill to protect those who travel between states to get reproductive care. That Bill is also expected to pass on a largely party line vote. Neither of the bills has enough support in the Senate to become law. On Capitol Hill, Mitchell Miller, WTO, news. 7 34 earlier, we told you a broad economic Bill on Capitol Hill has lost a key democratic swing vote. West Virginia, senator Joe Manchin, objects to provisions addressing climate change, as well as tax hikes for rich people and corporations. But the Democrat did say he supports provisions that curb drug prices and extend health insurance subsidies. And tonight, President Biden says Democrats should quickly push through a scaled down version of the plan in a statement that president says families all over the nation will sleep easier if Congress takes this action. A huge blow to his domestic agenda and to anyone who wants to see Congress take action on climate change with Joe Manchin coming out and saying, at least for the next month, he will not support a bill that would have extensive climate change, tax incentives. And that timeline means it may not happen at all because Democrats say they need to move on everything else involved in that Bill before Joe Manchin would be ready and they also doubt that he'll ever be ready. They're questioning if he would ever say yes. That PBS NewsHour Capitol Hill correspondent, Lisa, Desjardins, speaking with WTO. New this evening as well. We're learning that an accident caused the death of Ivana Trump. The New York City office of the medical examiner says Trump died after suffering blunt force trauma to her torso, foul play is not suspected. Former president Trump's first wife was found dead on the stairs inside her apartment yesterday. Ivana is the mother of Ivanka, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. She was 73. With an eye towards an expected fall surge of COVID, the Biden administration is continuing its public health emergency. It's also based on the new highly contagious variant affecting parts of the United States. As the U.S. faces down yet another surge of COVID hospitalizations around the country driven by the fast spreading BA 5 sub variant of omicron that is now dominant in every region of the country, the Biden administration says it is extending the COVID-19 public health emergency for at least another 90 days. That extends key resources the administration says is essential to their ongoing pandemic response, ranging from the test to treat initiative to allowing flexibilities for hospitals.

Coming up on WTO after the weekend forecast do Maryland's state police have a problem with not hiring a diverse enough group of troopers who tell you what's happening tonight at 7 36.

"This is the first such shooting since Crisis began. And it really ups the kind of sense of insecurity and that the reminder that all of these forces that are based at the airport are surrounded by the Taliban at all times. Jane Ferguson just remarkable reporting. Thank you so much and again, please stay safe. Thank you, Jane. Thank you, Judy. For those Afghans desperate to escape the Taliban. The challenges begin well before they decide to leave their homes. But if they do make it to the airport, the process for leaving the country is full of Logistical and bureaucratic challenges are Lisa Desjardin has been talking to American lawmakers to international nonprofit agency workers to refugees themselves and others. About these shortcomings these challenges and she joins me now. So Lisa, As we said, you've been talking to all these. These folks, you've been talking to people around the country. You shared your notes with this in the middle of the night. In fact, last night, tell us what is happening at this point with with all these efforts to get these Afghans to safety, I've spent days working on this and I have to say it would be an improvement. To call this a bureaucratic nightmare. It's not even clear what the bureaucratic path is. For some of these Afghans, essentially what you have right now is an army, an undesignated volunteer army of NGOs and honestly, thousands of individual Americans who have some clothes or sometimes even not very close relationship with an Afghan family. What is that is pleading for help to try and navigate the path that Jane was reporting for. How do you get that application to the the gate of the Kabul airport? And even what is that worth? So right now, we have is a situation where even congressional offices which we know obviously do have a priority path to the State Department. Even they are having trouble figuring out How can you get any visa? Which kind of visa is working the kinds of documents they're asking for our changing on a regular basis, and we spoke to one of these congressmen represented Mike Gallagher. He's actually a retired Marine intelligence officer, and even he has had trouble getting through the people that he thinks needs to get out. Here's what he said. Shouldn't take having to call a member of Congress, let alone be a member of Congress to get help. I mean, if you're an American, if you're an Afghan that risk you'd like to fight with us. We should be doing everything possible to protect you right now and get you out of the country. And so it's unfortunate we're having to make up a lot of this process on the fly. I think it speaks to the level of planning that did Not occur on the front end, but that's where we are. Now. Some people call this a digital Dunkirk. I think it's actually worse than that. I spoke to one Afghan here who's trying to get his family out. He was a translator for the U. S. He said. When you are drowning, you reach for anything. This is like Afghans drowning in the dark. They don't know if there is a way out there trying to reach for anything they can. So So are they. What would you say is the attitude of the Afghans and they hope able to hold out any hope. Yeah, I've been hearing stories of Afghans who are in hiding in Kabul, not even attempting to get to the airport yet because they're waiting for the paperwork. If it ever comes and they actually do have hope and those here in this country, Afghan refugees do have hope, But I have to say it's difficult for the NGOs and the Americans who are helping them because the Americans aren't so sure that that hope is justified. They're not sure that the paths really exist once the Afghans connect with an American. Oh, I think I have the contact that will get me through that The Americans and even members of Congress are really not so sure. There is one reason to hope. In the last couple of days. The numbers of people getting out of Kabul have increased dramatically. We've seen for the last two days. 10,000 evacuees today 10,000 yesterday. So total. This is unbelievable. Almost 50,000 people have been evacuated by the US in the last week. That is a reason for hope. However, as Jane reports, it's still chaos at the airport in a week to go, and finally Lisa. What about those refugees who are able to get out and some who have already come to the United States? Americans should realize they have come to the United States. There will be a huge need for these refugees as they come, and I want to look at sort of the numbers that we're talking about. Why this is such an issue of proportion. There are 34,500 visas available for special immigrants out of Afghanistan. Many of those have been used. There are still some 14,000 available, but then look at this number. Number of Afghans affiliated with the US in our 20 years, their 300,000. So we're talking about hundreds of thousands of Afghans who may have me how many will come here? We don't know. But we know that now refugee agencies, including one here in the Washington area really need resources. The refugees are coming some with I'd some, not by the way. And I think this is going to be a very long story that we're going to have to pay a lot of attention to. We also need to watch the Department of Defense. There are just discussion of whether the department offense needs to house more of these refugees as they come here, and I'm old enough to remember when all this was happening after Vietnam Vietnamese refugees, the younger one longstanding story that went on for a very long time. Lisa decision is so important. Thank you very much. Well, as you can imagine..

"This is one a. I'm chen white in washington. It's the news roundup. It's been a big week for news. Alerts on the west coast drought fires and heat on the east legal rulings from not one but two supreme courts and everywhere else there's the covert nineteen delta variant blazing through america's unvaccinated population. We'll unpack that and a bit more onto the roundup today. We'll kick things off with lisa desjardins. She's a correspondent with the pbs news. Hour lisa it's always great to have you on grades here. So let's start with this latest news out of the supreme court this week. The justices wrapped up their term with a bang. Upholding two pieces of controversial voting rights policy in arizona which piece of arizona legislation were before the court. Lisa there were two. They were both notable one was in arizona law. That makes it a felony to deliver. Someone else's absentee ballot. A lot of folks might be familiar with this practice. Democrats have used it a lot to reach communities that they feel are under served to go out and collect those absentee ballots. Get them turn them in. Arizona outlawed that and that is that was a question that democrats said was discriminatory because especially minorities we know minority community marginalized communities have harder time getting their absentee ballots and in particular arizona. Where a very large amount of native american population lives without access to mailbox so democrats said this was discriminatory to ban this practice. The other provisions there was about provisional ballots for voters who cast their ballot in the wrong precinct. Arizona's law throughout those ballots and again democrats said that was discriminatory. We do know from research that this is another situation where voters of color generally are affected more than anyone else. They are the ones who vote in the incorrect precinct. More often than any other. And that i saw you mentioned isn't it's up. How to only allow voters. their family. members were their caregivers to collect or deliver completed ballot. How did the verdict shakeout which justices ruled which way this year. We had such an interesting few weeks where there were some un predictable splits in the court. This was the ideological split that i think. Many of us had been expecting six three with the conservatives voting to uphold arizona's law and the liberals railing against it. I have to say reading the responses. The opinion and also the descent in this case. I have rarely seen opinions. That have attacked one another so openly. This was a case where the justices felt very strongly. Elena kagan wrote that. This really was a very dangerous. Potential dismantling of the voting rights act but justice alito wrote. That he felt that this the arizona laws were not enacted with a racially discriminatory purpose. But one of the questions here does is the purpose enough or is it the outcome that matters. And that's what kagan was arguing. What does this mean for for similar. Laws restricting voting rights across the country lisa. Because we've seen these these laws pop up in several states universally democrats and and republicans believed that this means that republicans who want to enact more voting restrictions. We'll have an stronger footing with the supreme court that this raises the bar now. It doesn't eliminate any potential kind of suits over discriminatory practices here but it raises the bar to be much higher than it was before that it's it's not just enough to show that there is some discrimination happening but you have to also show the intent and you have to essentially prove more than you had before that has to be a law almost enacted specifically a to discriminate and and that is what democrats say is dangerous here and i think that democrats now have some soul-searching to do about how they react. This is a kind of case that could affect even the discussion in the senate over the filibuster and if they need to pass voting rights legislation to do it they have to break the filibuster and this case pushes Kind of those tensions very high. And what does this mean for the voting rights. Act as a whole. Well you know. The voting act voting rights act stands. But there there. I think we will see a very large discussion over how to change it. And there is of course. The democrats in the house have passed. Hr one that the for the people act that is a very large act but it does not stand any chance on the senate right now. So they're trying to pass the john lewis of voting rights act which is smaller but still would essentially Tell states that they need to be. They need to get pre clearance. In order to pass any kind of law that is seen as discriminatory it would give the federal government more power to rail in states in this area but but right now. The supreme court is giving the power to the states. And what other cases did the court make decisions about this week. That really stood out to you. Well i think the other one that we got was that was so significant was a case from americans for prosperity versus essentially california. This was about dark money. Americans for prosperity. A lot of folks. No is a coke. Brothers related organization conservative organization. The question here was whether california could force them to reveal their largest donors names to the state and this is sort of one of the final cases about after citizens united where citizens united declared that donors could donors had certain rights in terms of funding but disclosure was allowed this ruling again six three the conservatives ruling in favor of americans for prosperity declared that in fact california could not force that disclosure by donors does a very huge defeat for democrats specifically a win for conservatives and mitch mcconnell who want to see anonymous donations in large amounts to groups like americans for prosperity that are technically nonprofits. And i wanna say one thing. That's interesting to me. Is that the court. In that case chief justice roberts wrote the opinion stress that the reason they felt that this should stand that the donors should not have to be disclosed is that it was a chilling effect on the honest. Freedom of association is so interesting to me that in that case the conservative court kind of opened up their assessment of chilling effect to benefit the americans for prosperity versus in the voting rights law. They went the other direction right. They decided that no they weren't worried..

But he criticized Democrats and President Biden for insisting that the bipartisan deal be passed along with A Democrat backed reconciliation bill. Less than two hours after publicly commending Our colleagues. And actually endorsing. The bipartisan agreement. The president took the extraordinary step up. Of threatening to veto it. But a real assessment of whether it can get the 60 votes to pass is unlikely until after the Senate returns from a two week recess that begins tomorrow. And Jimmy joins us now from the White House, along with Lisa Desjardin, back at the Capitol and Lisa to you first. We know senators who were part of this has spent many weeks trying to come up with this. Deal. Give us some of the details of what exactly is in here. Judy. This is a huge moment. Now. This bill does have a long road ahead. This hasn't crossed the finish line yet. But this is a very big victory for bipartisanship in an age of divide, And also this would be if it goes through the largest single transportation bill in American history. So let's talk about what's in it really quickly a lot at the top. Some of the biggest categories roads and bridges over $100 billion for those another 100 billion. And plus for rails and public transportation. Now, there is also in this bill a number of categories on climate and it depends on how you add up the math, but it's between 15 million and 60 billion. That's everything from electric vehicle charging stations to mitigations for our coastlines dealing with ecosystems addressing the effects already of climate change. And then finally, one thing I want to highlight $55 billion for clean water and pipes. That's for things like changing out lead pipes that are still in so many parts of America. Judy I could go on and on. This bill has a lot of money for the power grid for airports for our ports at seat for ferries for broadband. It is a massive bill and Lisa you as you and others are pointing out. It is not as much as the president. Originally wanted, but there's still a lot of money in here. How are they going to pay for it? This was the toughest part of reaching this point in the deal, and I have to tell you we just got the official release from senators laid out how they pay for it, Judy. There are no dollar figures next to the categories. Fortunately, I was able to get a copy of what the dollar figures were from one of the Senate from a senator who saw that and some of the biggest pay fors are things like taking unspent covid money and using the That also changing at how the IRS operates helping boost the IRAs so it could collect more taxes enforced Basically the law on tax.

E T Studios in Washington and in the West from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. Yesterday, the Biden administration laid out the $1.8 Trillion American Families Plan, which focuses on child care and education. As President Biden pushes these sweeping new policies he's relying on his Cabinet secretaries to help in that effort. A man of all sat down with one of them earlier today. And the secretary for Health and Human Services joins me now Secretary Javier Becerra welcome back to the news hour And thanks for being here you we should mention our one of five Cabinet officials the president has tapped to lead the negotiations on Capitol Hill pushed forward this ambitious American families plan. Here's what you're up against. Senator Susan Collins has already said she's concerned about the cost, Senator Mitt Romney told our colleague Lisa Desjardin. He wants the child care money to go directly to families instead, and he called universal pre k a federal incursion. So how do you change their minds on the first? Thanks for having me. Secondly, we do it the way the president did it with the American rescue plan that people didn't think we could get across the table. We do it the same way that the president got 200 million charts in arms for vaccination. The way people probably didn't think he couldn't even get to the 100 billion You just believe it And you have a president who's been a disc work the heck out of this. And so we're gonna join with the president because we know it's important. You can't just rescue the American public. You can't just create more jobs for the American people. You have to also give the American family a chance. And so these three legs of the stool are critical for Mary to come back. You are dealing. We should mention with Republicans, among whom there's some discontent already right that there's they say the administration hasn't been working with them as much as they had, like. Some even say that you've been dismissive of the work done before President Biden last night. After the joint address, Senator Lisa Murkowski said. This quote there needs to be recognition of the success of Operation Warp speed created under the previous administration. And their work on a vaccine development. What would you say to Senator McCaskey? We absolutely need toe acknowledge the successes that we've had in this country we have to build on those. We have to give credit where it's due, and then we have to keep going. But I think President Biden's message was very clear. We want to build on all those successes and he going because we got a lot to do presidents gonna move and he's gonna look for those people you could reach out to and make this a bipartisan bill, but he made it very clear. We need to move the American people are carrying on your also still moving on getting those shots into arms, and we should mention among people who self identify as Republicans. 40% say They do not plan to get the shots. I want to ask you about your plan there because they won't listen to.

"Received a threat against my life. My received over other threats against my safety. My address a picture of my home or my family lives was posted on kind of an anti dusty Facebook page. These are at the impeachment vote, and they really did believe that a vote for impeachment was something that would could put themselves and their family at personal risk. The same time they all took it seriously as well. On a philosophical level. This was a political and personal, very difficult decision. For many of them. It has been a difficult mood here today at the Capitol sad Also some fear, but I do want to point out one bright spot. Just a few minutes ago, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi signed the article of impeachment to get it ready for the Senate. That's not the bright spot, necessarily, but she signed it on. She used the podium. It had been stolen from her from this from the house from her chamber by the rioters that was brought back and she used it as clearly a statement that the house is back in full operation. Really interesting and good to see that that was received that it was returned to the capital. And Lisa. Finally, what about the Senate? This does now go to the Senate? What do we know about what happened there so much to stay Many fascinating developments there, Judy today. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said he is open to impeachment, but he has not decided for it. Yet. He also let it be known that he does not. He will not sign on to a fast trial, meaning the soonest the trial could happen in the Senate is after the Senate reconvenes that next date is January 19th the day before inauguration. McConnell and his staff. Those around him are making it clear that he does not think it is all on doll conducive to governing to have impeachment go on before inauguration that he wants to try and have a stable transition of power and that an impeachment before President elect Biden takes office would not be helpful to that. So it's now clear that the Senate will move forward with the trial after President elect Biden takes office and we know several Senate Republicans are undecided, among them, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and another question to be resolved. Can you There will be a debate. Can you impeach a president after he has left office? There is some precedent, but there will be debate. Seems like a lot is unclear about where this goes from here on, But Lisa Desjardin reporting on it all. Thank you, Lisa. And now we go to Ru Miche Al sender. So you meet President Trump becomes the first president in American history to be impeached twice. What do we know about how he is reacting to this? President Trump is furious at the idea that his marred legacy became even more tartness day as he became the first president to be impeached twice. The president spent much of the day watching TV watching the impeachment vote in debate play out on TV. The president in some ways was really lashing out at people because what he saw where Republicans saying that he betrayed his oath of office, of course, along with Democrats, saying that he Is a walking impeachment a fence. The president also just of you know, the last few seconds released a five minute video where he says that no supporter of his would be involved in any sort of violence or any sort of attacks on law enforcement. He also says that he's very worried about this free speech issue, saying that there are attempts to cancel people and to try to unfairly target people for spree speech. It was some defenders of the president. We're talking about free speech. But I have to tell you he is talking about a small group of people defending him because the number of people that I talked to today, they say, even if this is about free speech, they still believe that the president should not have said what he said. And yamiche picking up on that. What do we know about how the president would deal with a Senate trial is Lisa just reported? It's not clear that they will be one if if it happens after he leaves office, But what are they thinking? What are they planning? I spoke to a number of legal experts today, including a lawyer for President Trump, and it's clear that he's gonna have some real problems. Recruiting lawyers. Alan Dershowitz, who at one point was one of the lead attorneys during the first impeachment, told me that President Trump had the right to say what he said, but that it was not right for him to say what he said There are a number of other attorneys who are not going to be part of this defense, including J Secolo. The White House counsel packed a bologna. Alan Dershowitz also told me he's not gonna be part of this defense. The only person we think of right now, who's going to be part of that defense, for sure is very Giuliani, the president's personal attorney who has at times spread false information, so we have to see where this goes. The defense, though, will be about free speech. They will also be arguing that this is a political hack job in a witch hunt against the president, which is what he said today in that video that he referenced in that he released today. Let me sell fender reporting on the reaction at the White House, you means thanks so much. Way we'll hear from members of Congress.

"I used to be a reporter on the hill and I can tell you on most days, the U. S Capitol is this buzzing hive of activity, lawmakers and their aides whizzing through the halls, rivers of tourists flowing through the rotunda. And journalists zigzagging through all of this traffic, trying to cover the news of the day, But on Wednesday, it was a scene of an insurrection. We wanted to get an insider's view of that extraordinary day and how it may reshape day to day life inside the Capitol going forward. And to do that, we reached out to two reporters who were in the capital Wednesday and who are both intimately familiar with the building. And the people who inhabited Lisa Desjardin of the PBS news hour and politicos, Sarah Ferris. It is so good to be talking to both of you. And I'm so glad that you're safe. Thank you for having us also, thanks for having us, So I just want to start by asking you to share what it was like for you personally. On Wednesday at what point did you realize That things had spun out of control. I don't know about Sarah. It happened really fast. We had the House office building across the street from the capital. The Cannon office building went on lockdown because of a breach. And I remember asking Capitol police outside the House chamber about that. And the police doing outside the chamber did not know about it. And it was not long after that, that I went to the Middle of the capital. Just around the corner from that same spot and I saw the protesters. The whole mob crushed up against the front door of the capital. And it was such a disconnect, and that was when I knew We've never seen anything like this before. Sarah, How about you? So I, too, was on the house side a little bit different place than release the wise. We were up in the House Daily Gallery, which is on the third floor right above where the chamber is. And some of the gallery staff who are there. They're amazing. They're so calm all the time, and he's running around and he's telling us we're getting. You know initial signals. We might have to shelter in place. If that happens, we're going into the chamber. Then all of a sudden, it's like, OK, get anything you want to take with you. We're going into the chamber and we're locking the doors and there's no police nearby. This is all the house gallery staff that have to do this and we were cramming. We are just Into the chamber. We don't know what's happening. You know, I took my computer. I left car keys I loved, you know, I just got a cup of coffee. My heart started to pound even thinking about it again. So was there a moment that you think it's just going to stay with you for the rest of your life? Like a particular interaction, a scene or even a sound? I have one. We're up in the House chamber. I'm crouched at the very bottom of the gallery upstairs behind this little wall in front of me. There's three members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Lisa Blunt, Rochester from Delaware is just saying this prayer. God help us. She's clutching hands with two other members. And that was it for me. That was when I have never felt that that scared and not because because because they were scared. I couldn't look at anything else. That was problem. There's probably a lot of stuff happening on the floor, you know, And that was when they were trying to keep them from blocking the from getting in through the chamber door, which was just right. I could see it right right in front of us, but I couldn't stop watching these members who were praying together. I was on the other side of those locks doors. And this is the first time any of us reporters who see each other all the time every day or even being able to compare notes. You know, after I saw the door front door being breached, I'm going to always remember. I interviewed a couple of the rioters as they came in, which is also a way to try and keep yourself safe. They were just so casual about the whole thing, you know, And in fact, some of them were even asking. They were looking for a bathroom, some of them at that point, Then the numbers grew. And I think the bigger moment I'll always remember is when I watched from that location back toward The House chamber. And, you know, I put my hand on my I d badge because I knew that there are four police posts, right? They're usually at least four police officers outside the chamber. And I wanted to have my badge ready so that they knew I was a reporter and I walk there with the riders behind me coming behind me. And there's no police there. And then I realized the doors all around me are locked and that the offices are on lockdown. And you know, it was just me and them for quite a while. There is one more moment from Wednesday that I want to ask you about that night just as soon as the mob have been cleared from the building. Congress reconvened to finish certifying President elect Biden's victory. And both of you as well as ah, many, many of your colleagues went back to work. Tell me how did that feel to go back to work on the same day that all of this happened? You know, I know. Members of Congress were defiant and they wanted to get back and send a message and I felt the same way. I felt like I really do want to get back to the business of governing and showing that America is transparent, and it's a place where the press can report on what it's government does, and You know, that may have been just me trying to like, you know, feel better about really bad day, but I felt so good when I could walk back into the chamber. It was almost like I was physically felt like I was hugging a friend I hadn't seen in a long time after we both in through something I felt that way about the chamber itself and about Finishing the election. So both of you have covered Congress for so long, And I'm just curious how Wednesday fits into the larger story of this Congress. Well, it's interesting. This is Sarah. It's interesting because this is the first week of a new Congress. And it comes after maybe the most chaotic last Congress, the entire 116th Congress, beginning with the shutdown, nearly ending with a shutdown everything in between the impeachment You know, this was many people expected 117th Congress to be the fresh start. You know Joe Biden would be coming in in two weeks. Even Republicans were tired of answering questions about President Trump's behaviors over these last four years and into a lot of people. This was supposed to be a fresh start. There was supposed to be the spirit of bipartisanship. And you know nobody expected so many different kinds of questions and this shadow to hang over the 117th Congress in the way that it now will for the next two years. You know, it's Lisa. I'm I'm really concerned, and I think The reason why is what happened after we got back in the House chamber for the joint session late into the night overnight, there was actually a moment where Democratic representative said something that Republicans didn't like, and they objected to it on the floor. And this led to a shouting match between the two sides..

"Up, God bless America. We got protect our troops and all those folks capital we're trying to preserve order. Thank you. And I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Joe Biden talking to the press there and Wilmington, Delaware, the president elect, calling on President Trump to speak on national television to order his supporters toe leave the capital. We heard Joe Biden describe what he called disorder and chaos. At the capital, he said. This borders on sedition. It must end. I call on this mob. I'm reading Joe Biden's words to pull back. And he went on to speak about the words of a president matter. To cite the many ways President Trump has called on his supporters to challenge the election results. Hey, spoke about the need now for Americans to come together, he said. The work the work that we're gonna have to dono incoming In coming weeks and months will be to bring the country together very much condensing what the president elect had to say. But the most Uh, newsworthy was his calling on President Trump to go on national television and urged his supporters to leave the capital. We know that there were reports before Biden spoke. From other news organizations that President Trump had been asked by Republican leaders as well as Democratic leaders to urge people to leave the capital he was refusing to do he was refusing Go on television to do that. He was declining. At least that is, according to other reports right now, our own reporters, our own Lisa days are down on and a vase have been looking have been reporting from the Capitol grounds. We're waiting to see evidence of either National Guard State Patrol's state police for some evidence that they're showing up at the capital's to reinforce The Capitol police where they were clearly under prepared under secured. We're not ready for the show of force on the part of these protesters who came In force in large numbers, determined to breach the capital to breach the perimeter to go into knock down the doors to break windows break glass to get inside. Go into the Senate chamber into the House chamber. Here we have. This is a quick look at the House chamber. We were told that protesters were inside. There were also told that House members are trying to find different places to stay safe in the Capitol building. Lisa Desjardin has reported for us that the members of the Senate were in one location. We don't know what that location is what we were told they were staying safe being kept safe in one location, but we're trying to follow sources of information from many different Many different directions. We just listen to Joe Biden calling on President Trump. To go before the American people to go on national television to urge his supporters toe leave the capital to pull back and Biden himself called on these protesters toe leave the capital, he said on I'm quoting here, he said. They are what they're doing Borders on sedition. Hey, call the disorder, even chaos, he said. They do not represent who we are. As American people. They are a small number of extremists on he went on to call them. He said. I call on this mob to pull back, and he described the words of the president clearly holding President Trump responsible. What has happened today at the Capitol. These are live pictures you're looking at from the Capitol grounds. We know the tear gas was deployed a little earlier, maybe 15 2030 minutes ago in an effort to disperse the crowd, but some of them A number of them are still there as dark descends on the capital city. We know that what it's about 30 some degrees. With some pretty strong winds today. It's not a pleasant day to be outdoors, but this is a determined group. I just want to shares. Some news on the Georgia Senate race. A number of news organizations, not the Associated Press, which is what the news hour we are allied with The Associated Press in there call, but other news organizations are Saying that John also off they're declaring him the winner in Georgia, but we're not ready. We're waiting to see with the Associated Press. Does you Michelle Sender has been at the White House for us all day. Following events there, you, Mitch, What are you learning What I'm learning. There's their reports that President Trump may be releasing at some point. It taped statement this after this comes after both Democrats and Republicans and now Vice President elect Joe Biden have called on him to come to a camera to call off these protesters who have broken into the capital. We heard President elect Biden say something that's so far President Trump himself has not said and that is telling these protesters to go home. Saying that this is not protest. It looks like inter insert insurrection. He also said that this is not democracy and that the president needs to quote step up. So this is the president responded that in some ways, there are a lot of critics of the president who say this is all really all because of the president. His rhetoric, his his continuing toe beat the drum of disinformation. So what we see is President elect Biden saying In this moment, President Trump you need to step up and be Presidential. We will hear what we'll wait to see what the president says In that tape Video address Because the president has in the past in these video addresses continued to talk about dis information, continue to talk about debunked claims he's used these taped these taped videos to try to really just continue to spread things that are simply not true and do not take really hard questions from reporters in this moment where the nation is looking for a leader to say something about what's going on. And we know you may choose your reporting. The president has apparently taped a message that is going to be released shortly. We will, of course, share that As soon as we see it, I'm told. Okay, Maybe this is it at the two minute statement. It's on Twitter. It was just released as of about two minutes ago. As soon as we can. We can share that with you. We will I'm told he is calling for calm..

President, Senate And Trump discussed on PBS NewsHour
"Look at all these other immigrants. These all these people are like this man, who's a murderous dangerous person. And people are saying that that stereotypical and really that. It's that it's something that's unacceptable. And that's pretty remarkable for the president of the United States to be told that your ad cannot be run on major networks. Add to that the fact that there are people who are looking at President Trump, and you're saying that he is his rhetoric has really been unhelpful in forging racial divisions. Here this morning. The president was on a call with two hundred thousand supporters, and he's sounding a bit fearful of what could be coming tomorrow. He was saying that he does not really he doesn't really want to talk about the house in the Senate. He feels good about. But he said, I don't want this to be a referendum on my presidency while at the same time contradicting himself saying that if Republicans do pull this off any do keep control of the house and the Senate, I should Republicans. Feel good about my presidency. So this is a president who is being one on a lot of people see as racially divisive. But also someone who's a little bit nervous for what's going to come tomorrow. So Lisa you've got a number of Democrats out there in swing districts. How are they looking at this ad if this message of divisiveness and some say racism the truth is this immigration taxes? The president's puts both parties in a tricky position because he started it so late that they're not able to get pole as to how it's affecting their voters. There are some Republicans who hope that it does get out their base. It's obviously something that help the president get elected. But Judy I talked to one Republican campaign in a swing congressional district. They are very concerned that this is going to hit those swing districts, especially those ones that have newer representatives and have increasing minority populations about the state like California where there right now are six to seven seats in play. Democrats also have that hope and they're thinking about Senate seats like era. Zona Nevada, Texas where we've seen record early voting turnout. They think this could bring out even more say Hispanic population that they believe will vote their way, but the truth is they don't know yet. And when you look at both the house and the Senate that's also the case that it's not clear yet that for sure the Democrats will take over the house both parties think that's likely, but the Senate right now, it's still very unclear. There are many different scenarios for how that could go. And it depends on each race. So the ad for now isn't being aired. But the message is still out there. Yeah. Lisa Desjardins, Michel cinder. Thank you.
